Thanks to a slow Lap 23 pit stop, Verstappen lost a lot of time and when Hamilton pitted two laps later, he emerged alongside the Red Bull. Entering the first chicane side-by-side, they connected and the Dutchman\u2019s car was launched over Hamilton\u2019s, coming to rest above his engine cover. Hamilton said he emerged largely unscathed before giving his view on the incident.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n
\u201cYes, a little bit stiff, my neck\u2019s a bit \u2013 I took a bit of a whack on the head,” he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cWe were obviously just ahead, we had a bit of a slow stop, came out, braking into Turn 1 I made sure I left a car\u2019s width on the outside and I was ahead going into the corner, and next thing I know, I guess Max went over the second kerb or something like that \u2013 he obviously knew he wasn\u2019t going to make the corner \u2013 and he drove into me,\u201d said Hamilton.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cSo, next thing you know, he\u2019s just on top of me. So, definitely unfortunate and we\u2019ll speak to the stewards after this I\u2019m sure.\u201d Hamilton did attempt to wrestle his car out of the gravel, but with the Red Bull stuck on top of it, the Briton had no choice but to follow Verstappen and climb out of his car to end his race.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cI wasn\u2019t feeling great, but I was just hopeful to get the car going but the car was destroyed so it wouldn\u2019t have made any difference anyways,\u201d he recalled.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
After the collision, Verstappen said over the radio, \u201cthat\u2019s what happens when you don\u2019t give space\u201d, a statement that Hamilton said he disagreed with after they were eliminated \u2013 referring to the Lap 1 wheel-to-wheel battle earlier in the race that left Hamilton running wide (below).<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n
\u201cIt\u2019s exactly the same scenario that happened at Turn 4, where I went round the outside, I was exactly the same position, but I gave way \u2013 and that\u2019s racing. He just didn\u2019t want to give way today and he knew that when he was going into [Turn] 2, what was going to happen. He knew he was going over the kerb but he still did it\u2026 I don\u2019t really know what else to say,\u201d concluded Hamilton.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The pair have been summoned to the Stewards, where the ultimate verdict over the incident will be given \u2013 but the fallout will surely continue over the coming days after an unforgettable Italian Grand Prix.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The Lewis Hamilton-Max Verstappen rivalry erupted to a new level in the Italian Grand Prix when the pair came together halfway through the race, with the collision eliminating them both from the race. Afterwards the Mercedes driver said his rival \u201cknew\u201d what the outcome would be when they went into the chicane.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":7,"featured_media":2499,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_et_pb_use_builder":"","_et_pb_old_content":"","_et_gb_content_width":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[76],"tags":[],"yoast_head":"\n
